Kartini Day holds great significance in Indonesian culture as it commemorates the legacy of Raden Ajeng Kartini, a pioneer in the fight for women's rights and education in Indonesia.

The YIS community celebrated Kartini Day last Monday. Everyone is dressed in traditional Indonesian clothing and batik. Both the Grade 9 students' angklung performance and the Grade 2 students' Jaranan dance were amazing. We also had the chance to enjoy a short drama about Kartini's life performed by the Grade 7 & 8 students. Presenting on "Pahlawanku, Sumber Inspirasiku" were the Grade 11 & 12 students. A musical performance by Grade 10 students featuring traditional Indonesian songs concluded the festivities.

Yesterday was an especially memorable day for our Primary Years Programme students. They took a field trip to two locations in one day: the Butterfly Garden at Sanata Dharma University and the Sonobudoyo Museum.

This field trip allows students to discover real-world connections, build empathy, and widen their viewpoints. Students can build a stronger sense of community and a better understanding of their obligations as global citizens by interacting with various surroundings and cultural artifacts.

Personal Project is mandatory for the students of MYP Year 5. It encourages students to practice and strengthen their ATL skills, and develop an area of personal interest. It provides an excellent opportunity for students to produce a truly personal and often creative product/outcome and to demonstrate a consolidation of their learning in the MYP.

Personal projects are not only student-centered but also age-appropriate. They enable students to engage in practical explorations through a cycle of inquiry, action and reflection. MYP projects also help students to develop the attributes of the IB learner profile and foster the development of independent, lifelong learners.
